I don't know if it's the exact issue, but from what I can understand it is. I am making an external API call with the HTTP.call and trying to parse the response as JSON (which it is), but I'm getting strange content returned, which I think is Gzipped content. I'm setting the npmRequestOptions parameter for gzip to true, but it is still returning the same content.
Here's my code:
var result; try { result = HTTP.call('GET', 'http://atlas.atdw-online.com.au/api/atlas/products', { params: { key: '594c18ea1a184997a5457593b5873c8f', att: 'INDIGENOUSAUTHARTS', out: 'json', }, npmRequestOptions : {gzip : true, json: true}, headers: { // "Accept": "application/json", 'Content-Type' : 'application/json; charset=UTF-16', "OSLC-Core-Version": "2.0", }, }); } catch (e) { // Got a network error, timeout, or HTTP error in the 400 or 500 range. } // Append data in correct experiences format. var content = JSON.parse(result.content); The error is as per the screenshot: 
Here are the response headers from the API call which seems to indicate the content is being gzipped:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true CF-RAY: 4291c15b957d4d88-PER Content-Encoding: gzip Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-16 Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2018 05:42:36 GMT ETag: W/"863e-ylc8HuIAiQAynP7anYY1GA" Server: cloudflare Vary: Origin, Accept-Encoding X-Powered-By: Express I believe npmRequestOptions : {gzip : true, json: true} should be working, but it's not. There's no additional information available and I've been searching all day.

So I've figured out the solution to this was not in the Meteor app itself, it was in the content being returned. The response is UTF-16LE so I had to remove special characters from the response to I could JSONify it.
result = result.content.replace(/[^A-Za-z0-9{}@&:\-_() /\\"=[\],.?!]/g, '')
